[Impact of cardiac rehabilitation programs on coronary risk profile].
Rehabilitation and secondary prevention in patients with cardiovascular disease impact positively on their mortality, morbility, economy and quality of life. In addition, they are a coadjuvant to the medical programs to treatment even in high risk patients. It is advisable to cardiologists that in their medical practice, advise to their low risk patients, on physical activity as a secondary prevention measure. In those high risk patients is better to refer them to expert hands.
